Our Family Room could use a little refreshing, but aside from that, our stay was absolutely perfect. The breakfast and lunch kitchen teams were exceptionally kind and attentive, and the reception staff were equally welcoming and professional. I also needed to work during my stay, and the internet connection was excellent — fast, stable, and very reliable, which made a real difference. Food was also diverse and very good. I have stayed in many Novotel properties, particularly across Europe, and this one truly stands out as the best experience I’ve had so far. A special thank you to Ousmane, Safietou, and the lovely lady welcoming guests at the restaurant entrance for their outstanding service and warm hospitality. We will gladly return.

room was just about fine - clean-ish but super rundown. food in the hotel was dire, would recommend checking out other hotels locally or the many great local restaurants in the area some of the staff are very rude, very pushy and make the experience of checking in / using amenities extremely unpleasant

The staff were so lovely and kind and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were average but mostly clean and neat. The food was amazing and buying the breakfasts all in was the best decision we made. All in all this is a lovely little hotel which felt very safe and was comfortable, relaxed and friendly.

We had a very scary experience with the staff. Our room had no deadbolt then we had someone knock and try to get it. Then someone from the front desk call up and ask if I was alone and if the door was locked. Mind you I’m a younger female. I tried to talk to the staff about it via email but it’s been 10 days with no response. Super disappointed in their customer service and lack of safety. DO NOT stay here!

Hôtel très bien situé, à proximité à pied de plusieurs lieux touristique (musée des civilisation noires, place de l’indépendance, port pour île de gorée…). Chambre spacieuse et fonctionnelle, propre et wifi impeccable. Le personnel est très accueillant, serviable et chaleureux. Je vous recommande vivement cet hôtel !
